This is awesome news and a huge win for Vets as VetTec has proven to be a great bang for buck investment in our Vets.
Last week, H.R. 1669 (VET TEC Authorization Act of 2023) passed the House. The bill now moves on to the Senate. https://t.co/HKK3j8V5uC

I helped build Google's Inactivity account manager, it's a great feature and everyone should set it up on all their platforms. Big use cases: - Don't let your photos disappear, share them with loved ones - Share account numbers and asset locations only after death
"Google allows you to choose up to 10 trusted contacts who it will notify if your account becomes inactive for a certain period of time." https://t.co/LpOKRvpnw1

An observation: When companies put a claim in their name, it's almost certainly not true. But because it's in their name, vs. a claim in their advertising, you can't argue with them. Used to just apply to chinese restaurants and plumbers, but now:

I am curious how @Spotify aligns prohibiting transfers to competing services with Article 20 of GDPR, it would seem like there is a "technically feasible" way to do a direct transfer, they would just prefer people didn't:

Developers who provide the ability to transfer Spotify playlists to Apple Music, or other services, are reportedly being told their access to the Spotify SDK will be revoked.

Please note that since October 2018 original YouTube videos are not necessarily accessible after 6 months, see: https://t.co/kfE4dyNqo3 for the anouncment
For the security researchers that are scared about YT's updated terms, https://t.co/COEKolBVTN will let you download all your videos. I believe it is the original upload, not the 720p version CreatorStudio gives you. May need to export as your branded account.

Crazy, if you try to print the @Dropbox transparency report( https://t.co/Ox3pdmQtId), none of the numbers show up, both Safari and Chrome. Overall theirs is really pretty but seriously lacking in usability: no download, no deep links, and no print screen.
